My wife and I are flying back to the UK with our baby. We both hold UK passports, however our baby doesn't hold an EU passport yet. (They have a separate non-EU passport that is valid for entering the UK)

Does anyone know if we can still go through the faster UK/EU immigration line at the airport, or would we have to go through the slower non-EU line?
